JWS MG Motor is preparing to launch a new vehicle in the Indian market. Tomorrow, August 26th, the company plans to introduce its new electric SUV. This model will directly compete with seven-seater vehicles from Tata Mahindra. Currently, it is an electric version.
The vehicle under discussion is the MG Hector Hawk EV. It promises a claimed range of over 500 kilometers. Although the company has not officially confirmed the model's name, there is speculation that it will be named Hector. Details about this SUV are emerging.
The new MG SUV, debuting on August 26th, will be the company's first model based on the ADAPT platform, specifically developed for new energy vehicles. This model will feature a three-row configuration and will be larger than the existing Hector.
Although the official name MG Hector Hawk has not been confirmed, this model is generating the most interest. Its price in the export segment is speculated to range from 22 to 26 million rupees. However, the final pricing policy will be revealed on August 26th. Despite using the Hector name, this vehicle will be significantly different from the current Hector model.
This new car will be based on the Wuling Starlight 560, which is designed for the global market. It will have a length of 4.7 meters. Considering its size and seating configuration, this model will compete with the Tata Safari and Mahindra XUV 7Xo.
Tata is also working on the Safari EV, and Mahindra's portfolio includes the XEV 9S—a seven-seater electric SUV. This model may be equipped with a 69 kWh battery, providing a claimed range of 530 kilometers, although information regarding the battery type for the Indian market has not yet been confirmed.
For an electric vehicle, charging speed is as important as the battery itself. The advantage of a large battery is only realized with fast-charging capability. MG has not yet disclosed information about its vehicle's charging speed. All these details will become known tomorrow. This model will be the brand's third electric vehicle after the MG Comet and MG Windsor.
